EXAMINING ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES On my website there are 2 links for the advantages/disadvantages each side had going into the war. The first one looks at various aspects such as industry and population, the second one focuses just on the generals. You are to record each aspect discussed, which side had the advantage and WHY it was an advantage. There will be 8 aspects you will be completing this for. Once you have it completed, underneath your chart write a 1 sentence explanation about which side you think had the upper hand going into the war.
